Ejina Populus Forest Autumn Viewing Guide: Three Days to Check in the Golden Desert World!

Golden fairy-tale-like Populus forest🌞 The group tour arranged a morning trip to Juyan Lake, arriving at the East Area of the Populus forest around 11 a.m. However, I heard the South Area is even more stunning, so I immediately decided to change the itinerary! It’s a bit difficult to get a taxi at the parking lot, so it’s recommended to wait for a cab 🚕, usually costing about 30 yuan to the South Area, and you can bargain it down to 25 yuan on the way back. The 240 yuan ticket includes both areas, and you only need to buy a 30 yuan sightseeing bus ticket to explore worry-free✨ The biggest advantage of the South Area is that there are very few people! 💡【Water Mirror Populus】Must-visit Guide If you want to save time, the first stop "Water Mirror Populus" is the essence! The reflections here are simply stunning📸 Unfortunately, I arrived at noon and encountered backlight and strong wind, so the photos didn’t turn out well. The best shooting times are 8 a.m. or after 4 p.m. at sunset🌅 when it’s windless! The reflections here are even better than those at Erdao Bridge! After shooting, you can go to the next stop or leave directly~ 💡【East Area Play Tips】Selected Route The East Area is especially large, with key recommendations for Bridges 1, 2, 4, 7, and 8: - There is a free shuttle bus 🚌 starting from Erdao Bridge - You can walk from Yidao Bridge to Erdao Bridge (about 1.5 km), or spend 90 yuan to take a small train through the golden forest sea 🚂 - The Populus at Qidao Bridge have mostly fallen (can be skipped) - Badao Bridge mainly features desert scenery and paid activities 🏜️ If you’re short on time, visiting Bridges 1, 2, and 4 is enough! 🍴【Food and Drink Supplies】No worries There are many supply stations in the scenic area, so food and drinks are all available~ ⏱️【Recommended Duration】 For someone like me who doesn’t like selfies and focuses on enjoying the scenery, 4-5 hours for both areas is enough! 📍 Detailed Address: Ejina Banner, Alxa League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region
